Thanks for the podcast Nate, I have a question somewhat related to the topic of the podcast. I'm currently working as a software developer for a group that's looking to build technologies to support a digitally enhanced democracy. However I've recently been concerned that the requisite hardware side of this tech stack may be endangered due to your analysis of the coming Great Simplification, as our digital infrastructure would never be possible without the mining, industrial heating, and transportation that goes into producing hardware, which all depends on depleting resources (oil, copper, etc.). Do you view this as a reason for concern around the prospects of digital democracy? Could this topic make it in your queue of Frankly topics?
